Ariel Playas is a talented carver of alebrijes, wooden figures. His wooden menagerie includes raccoons, otters and bears. As part of the 2010 Indigenous Tourism and Biodiversity Website Award, we selected two of Ariel's pieces as official trophies.

In Oaxaca City Ariel's work is sold at Teresita, Murgia #100B (at the corner of Alcalá). Ask Victor, the owner of Teresita, if there are new works of folk art arriving at the store.
